Yes! I have a Computer Engineering degree from the University of Utah. It took me a lengthy 6 years to graduate. The final 2 years of school, I dropped to part time, so that I could work as a software engineer full time.
I learned to code through attending a University! I recommend this experience to anyone, if you have the time and means. I also suggest checking out codecademy which has great free resources. My biggest recommendation is to just start a project. Build a personal website (like this one!), you will learn how a website works, what a client and server is, what a DNS is, and how to point it! There are plenty of tutorials online, and if you would like mine, check it out here.
I get asked this question all the time. I use JavaScript (Node.js) for my personal projects, and Python (Django) at work. The greatest thing about learning to code, is that you don't learn just one language. You learn programming skills and concepts. These concepts are interchangeable to any lanuguage.
Using Github Pages, jekyll, and some computer knowledge. Build + host a website for free! Seriously. This tutorial is for the complete beginner. I will walk through what to download, and how to get setup. Then I will teach you the basics of hosting a website. Let's get your website up and running today!
In 1984 around 37% of people in tech were women! But in the past 25 years there has been a steady decrease of women to the current 25% we have today. So what changed? Marketing did. When computers were seen as a science and less secretary work, computer science was pushed and marketed towards men. This is a great thing, because we can change it back. These free posters are fun, tech, and super "girly", and marketed just for girls!
Let me convince you why everyone should write comments diligently. It is the best thing you can do for your team. Not because you need these comments, you wrote the code, why would you need comments right?!?! Even if you have an incredible memory and can remember every line of code you write, you should still write comments. Here is why....

The items I use to code every single day! I'm a fan of feminine, sophisticated tech products.
